Hey all,
I was wondering when people generally hear back about interviews for more competitive schools. I would say I'm having a decent cycle so far (interviewed at UNC [I'm also a student at UNC and NC resident], Duke, and Tufts (where I have been accepted), though the fact remains is that I'm waiting on word from 11 more schools (I was rejected from UChicago and Cornell). I would say I am a competitive applicant with perhaps only my GPA and MCAT score limiting me for these top tier places (3.81C, 3.74S though the lower science due to Honors/Upper level sciences where I got Bs; 34 MCAT). I have covered my bases with the ECs, LoRs, research, shadowing, and doing stuff that I really enjoy, think free time stuff. And when I say this, I don't mean checklist, I enjoy and can passionately talk about everything I'm involved in. Can you see me receiving a few more interviews? I would say I'm simply nervous that I have not heard anything from most of these places since I've submitted secondaries back in July. Surely several others are experiencing the same thing.
Cheers,
